new test surface

this is the newest test surface result...
I'm smiling... many possibilities here!
to me this is beautiful...

the "Full Kiln Load"

the "Full Kiln Load" from yesterday's post
click on images to enlarge...

Full Load

yes indeed...
 a full kiln load to start the day...
I'll see them tomorrow,
now that's a change!

Earthenware/Dinnerware

Earthenware/Dinnerware is moving along... slowly, but moving along none the less...
yes folks thats cobalt blue...
god forbid! he's becoming a decorator! 

blue on blue/rice bowl

this will undoubtedly surprise a lot of people... but here it is...
rice bowl, blue on blue...

small cup

small cup from the tests
with a robin's egg blue liner

Tray w/ biscuits...

Sunday biscuits for Wyatt
today almond/cherry
on a new earthenware tray
if he doesn't wake up soon they'll all be gone...

Wedge Fan Tray

Wedge Fan Tray
the test kiln broke down yesterday...
the switch terminal wires fried...
constant use probably didn't help
age contributed a lot also
everything I have is old...
so... replaced all the connectors and it's back in business... I'm lucky... testing continues...
now fired properly I have this small tray...
again... stark, old looking and perfect to show you how life indeed can be a bowl of cherries...

peonies...

some peonies before the rains...

Tumbler

progress! seems I'm getting somewhere...
or as an old friend used to say
" now you're suckin' diesel, Rob"
keep moving along
one step at a time
what happened to the white pots?

so would you drink your morning coffee from this?

testing, testing...
